This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration when you are trying to change or assign an employee subgroup that is no longer valid based on the defined validity period in the system.

  Solution:
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of the employee subgroup in the configuration settings. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration in the SAP system (usually in the IMG under Personnel Administration).
  Select a Valid Subgroup: If the subgroup is indeed no longer valid, you will need to select a different employee subgroup that is valid for the date you are working with.
  Update Configuration: If the subgroup should be valid for a longer period, you may need to update the configuration to extend the validity dates.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance on how to manage employee subgroups and their validity periods.
